Noymbf 23. 1947 Agriculture Department Says U.S.Fucfd Picture f Gloomy9; High Price Likely to Continue By WlllUm Ferris CHICAGO, Noc 22-iiJ-"Gloonvy" is' a one-adjective description of what the agriculture department thinks of America's feed grain situation. Looking at the situation from all angles, the department's 1948 forecast, issued by the outlook and situation board, comes up with these predictions: - ' 1. Prices will continue high at least until 1948 crop prospects are known which means next spring for oats and next summer for the more important corn crop. 2. Demand for feed" grains corn, oats, barley, grain sorghums will continue very strong, but farmers won't be able to dupli cate the heavy livestock -feeding rate of this year. There just won't be enough grain for that . 3. Because of the feed -grain shortage, more wheat "probably" - will be offered to hogs and cattle than this year. But the depart ment concedes the national -grain conservation program will limit . thu increase. 4. The-carry-over of feed grains at the end of this crop season It ends Ot. 1 1948 will ap- roach the small carry-overs fol owing the drought years' in the mid-1930s. 5. Farmers are expected -to sell - about 40 -per cent less corn to commercial processors and feed . manufacturers in 1947-48 than in 1946-47. 6. Imports of barley, important during some war years, will be negligible because Canada has of ficially announced that export permits during the current mar keting year will be granted, only, for movement of registered and certified seeds and certain' grain products. ' . All this gloom is contained in one iittle" booklet the 1948 out look issue of "The Feed Situa tion," a regular department pub ' lication. t" - Statistically, the department reasons this way: Feed stocks at tfce start of this crop year (Oct. 1 for corn and grain sorghums, July I ifor oats ICE CBEAII Quarts . SAVING CEUTE Salem A West Salem and barley) totaled 13 J million tons. Production this year is 97.8 mil lion tons of feed grains. With by product feeds and other grains for feed, the total supply of feed con centrates is 139.8 million tons. Total utilization for the 1947-48 crop season (Oct. 1, 1947, to Oct. 1. 1948) will be 131.8 million tons. That's based on an estimated drop of 11.0 million tons in the amount fed to livestock. This will leava stocks on Oct. 1, 1948, of only 8 million tons, compared with the 13.9 million tons this Oct. 1. "The feed supply outlook, the department said, "is much less favorable than a year ago, and less favorable than for the past five seasons. Farmers will not be able to maintain the heavy 1948-47 rates of feeding. Total carry-over of all feed grains in 1948 probably will be the smallest since 1937 District Commander Visits Stayton Post STAYTON Special guest on Thursday at Stayton VFW post was District Commander Bolton, who talked on the VFW as a na tional organization and discussed pending- legislation.
